Today’s clip is a slight departure for the geniuses behind Key of Awesome. Why? As you can see from the picture taken from the shoot above, this video doesn’t spoof just one specific artist and video or moment, as has been typical. Instead, an explosion of the Key of Awesome caricature characters were brought together to sing a theme song, “The Origin of Awesome!” for a series theme song: Lady Gaga! Justin Beiber! James Hetfield! Adam Lambert! Obama Girl! Ke$ha!

For a glimpse at the new video—as well as a little bit about the team behind the Key of Awesome—follow the jump.

You may not have realized, but the Key of Awesome is actually a weekly internet series (and not just random videos from enthusiastic fans in their basements) from Barely Digital, which is headed up by the guy who originally brought you Obama Girl. (Barely Digital is one of the networks from Next New Networks.) The behind-the-scenes guys joined the on-screen talent for a photo above: From left is Ben Relles, founder; Tom Small, who directs all the videos; Jake Chudnow, the show’s music producer; Jan Uczkowski, who plays Justin Bieber; Mark Douglas, who writes all the Key of Awesome music and stars as many characters like, in this photo, Adam Lambert, as well as James Hetfield further above; and Lauren Francesca, who plays Lady Gaga and several other characters in the series.
